Deleting Posts

[dUSt]

Hey pham,

If I were to delete some posts to improve the performance of teh phorum, what would be a good guideline?

I'm thinking:
- delete all posts in Open Mic that have 0 replies
- delete all posts in Open Mic that have less than 5 replies and have not been active for over a year
- delete all posts in Debate Table with 0 replies
- delete all posts in Lame Board older than 90 days
- delete all prayer requests older than 90 days

What do you think?

1. Delete all posts in Open Mic that have 0 replies
2. Delete all posts in Debate Table with 0 replies
3. Delete all posts in Lame Board older than 90 days

lets just delete the scripture passages that we cant recite by heart. Or the Church documents that we cant spell.

dUSt, some of the posts with 0 replies may be tracts.

[Apotheoun]

If the first three are not enough:

4. Delete all prayer requests older than 90 days

[Starets]

I would go with options 2,4,5

[littleflower+JMJ]

I think all those are fine dUSt, especially the lame board.

[dUSt]

Somebody show me a post with 0 replies that we should keep.

[cmotherofpirl]

options 4 & 5

is there a way to bump stuff to see what will be deleted?

[Tony]

maybe even 0 and 1 replies.. i dunno

[EcceNovaFacioOmni]

The last two sound good to me. The third option might be good as well.

[dUSt]

All but #2 have been done. haha

Number 2 would eliminate about 7000 posts...

I'm a little biased, but I think attacking the old lame board threads is probably the best bang for your buck.

I can't seem to find my favorite post anymore! It has simply vanished.

I went to find you some of the tracts with 0 replies and the links on the Defense Diretory are broken.

Why not delete the Lame Board posts as they are being posted?

Another thought: what about polls which don't allow replies?

Example?

[Totus Tuus]

Delete the lame board.

lol, I know a lot of people would get mad about that, though. Erm, I think all of the options sound good, dUSt.
